In the Book of Asclepius (or Imhotep), Hermes related this foreboding tale to his apprentice Imhotep, whom hermes declared was like the Sun:
It befits the wise to know all things in advance, of this you must not remain ignorant: a time will come when...divinity will return from earth to heaven...O Egypt, Egypt, of your reverent deeds only stories will survive, and they will be incredible to your children! Only words cut in stone will survive to tell your faithful works, and the Scythian or some such neighbor barbarian will dwell in Egypt. for divinity goes back to heaven, and all people will die, deserted as Egypt will be widowed and deserted by god and human....Whoever survives will be recognized as Egyptian only by his language; in his actions he will seem a foreigner. Imhotep, why do you weep? Egypt herself will be persuaded to deeds much wickeder than these, and she will be steeped in evils far worse. A land once holy, most loving of divinity, by reason of her reverence the only land on earth where the gods settled, she who taught holiness and fidelity will be an example of utter unbelief.
In their weariness the people of that time will find the world nothing to wonder at or to worship...People will find it oppressive and scorn it. They will not cherish this entire world, a work of god beyond compare...They will prefer shadows to light, and they will find death more expedient than life. No one will look up to heaven. The reverent will be thought mad, the irreverent wise; the lunatic will be thought brave, and the scoundrel will be taken as a decent person. Soul and all teachings about soul )that soul began as immortal and expects to attain immortality) as I revealed them to you will be considered not simply laughable but even illusory...They will establish new laws, new justice. Nothing holy, nothing reverent nor worthy of heaven or heavenly beings will be heard of or believed in the mind.
They will be driven to every outrageous crime - war, looting, trickery, and all that is contrary to the nature of souls...When all this comes to pass Asclepius (Imhotep), ten the master and father, the god whose power is primary...will take a stand against the vices and the perversion in everything, righting wrongs, washing away malice in a flood or consuming it in fire or ending it by spreading pestilential disease everywhere. Then he will restore the world to its beauty of old so that the world itself will again seem deserving of worship and wonder.
-- As our current cycle progresses, in keeping with the dictates of the Manvantara, there will be sudden diverse changes in our environment, as well as in the evolution of human consciousness. The Manvantara reflects that within the dominant cycles of the Earth are smaller ones, which are also indicative of transformation. Smaller cycles appear in Kali Yuga, which elevate humaninty to more ethical plateaus of sociocultural understanding and interaction. Such periods may endure for several millennia gradually deteriorating as the darkness of the Kali Yuga once more engulfs the human race. Though the general condition of the race worsens, what was achieved in these more enlightened cycles is retained by various groups, which towards the end of the Yuga, will survive and start anew as they enter a different age.
the Kali Yuga, which began in 3102 B.C.E., just completed its first minor cycles in 1898, almost on hundred years ago. The Manvantara informs us that we are now in a stage of transition to a new minor cycle, due at the beginning of the 21st Century. The manvantara decrees that it is within this period of transition that telluric changes, such as severe seismographic activity, may occur on a global scale, along with radical deviations in Earth's weather patterns. We may also experience an elevation of consciousness through spiritual awareness, bonding the human family together on levels yet unexplored.

In the British Museum, there is a document written by the Mayans of the Yucatan, known as the Troano Manuscript. Dated circa 650 C.E., this manuscript was discovered and translated by one of the first European archaeologists to decipher the Mayan glyphs, Augustus Le Plongeon. It too speaks of a disaster of global proportions:
In the year six Kan, on the eleventh Mulac in the month Zac, there occurred terrible earthquakes which continued without interruption for thirteen Chuen. The country of the "hills of mud" the land of Mu, was sacrificed. Being twice upheaved, it suddenly disappeared during one night, the basin being continually shaken by volcanic forces. Being confined, these caused the land to sink and to rise several times in various places. At last the surface gave way and ten countries were torn asunder and scattered. Unable to stand the force of the convulsions, they sank with their sixty-four million inhabitants.
There can be no doubt that this account is a recapitulation of an earlier incident passed on to them from earlier civilizations that flourished in the region long before the Maya.
In examining stories and legends of tremendous telluric disasters, one cannot help by wonder if there is scientific evidence that points to the possibility of such changes having taken place.

All current geophysical theories regarding the phenomenon of polar reversal are based on the research of Dr. Charles Hutchins Hapgood....So profound were the scientific theories of pole reversal by Hapgood, that he eventually drew the attention of one Albert Einstein. Fascinated by Hapgood's calculations regarding the subject, Einstein was impelled to write the foreward to Hapgood's book, Earth's Shifting Crust. Hapgood's calculations led him to believe that the last polar shift was between 17,000 and 12,000 years ago and that the North Pole would have been in the Hudson Bay area of Canada. Scientists would like to think the process of polar shifting is a gradual one, but at this time, they may only speculate, and their speculative approach is filled with error. Let us not forget that several mammoths discovered frozen solid on the tundras of n.e. Siberia. These animals were so well preserved that the sled doggs consumed their flesh without incident. Inthe stomachs of these mammoths and between their teeth was undigested grass and leaves. When the vegetable matter in their stomachs was analyzed to determine the species of plant, it was discovered that the plants did not grow in the regions where the animals died, but far to the south, as much as a thousand miles away. This clearly shows that the shifting of Earth's poles was amazingly sudden and rapid, for if the animals had not been frozen as soon as they died, there would be evidence of decomposition.
During the last several years, there have been countless individuals in the scientific community who have tried to predict catastrophic/transformative events. One of the most famous of these predictions came in the mid 1970s from two scientists, John R. Gibbon and Stephen h. Plagemann, in a book entitled, The Jupiter Effect. The book was a countdown to a 1984 doomsday that was to be characterized by massive earthquakes, tidal waves, changes in Earth's atmosphere, and a gradual slowing of Earth's axial rotation, and was to be caused by the alignment of several planets perpendicular to the Sun.
Needless to say, none of these events materialized and both scientists were labeled as frauds. However, that such a doomsday event is plausible is found in the commentary of both Herodotus and Plato. Herodotus, one of the more inquisitive Greeks, who ventured into Egypt in the 5th C. B.C.E., discovered through conversations with an Egyptian priest that "four times in this period (so they told me) the sun rose contrary to his wont; twice he rose where he now sets, and twice he set where he now rises." Plato, in his dialogue Politicus or The Statesman, wrote:
"I mean the change in the rising and the setting of the sun and the other heavenly bodies, how in those times they used to set in the quarter where they now rise, and used to rise where they now set...At present periods the universe has its present circular motion, and at other periods it revolves in the reverse direction...the motion of the earth is changed by 'blocking of the course' and goes through 'shaking of revolutions' with 'disruptures of every possible kind', so that the position of the earth became at one time reversed, at another oblique, and again upside down, and it wandered 'every way in all six directions. Of all the changes that take place in the heavens this reversal is the greatest and most complete."
